Mountain Bike

Johann Scholtz, Year 7, competed in the National Cross Country Mountain Bike Championship in the U/15 boys category. The event was held in Canungra, Queensland on 18 March. His Johann’s experience racing on a national level was challenging with a tough course and wet conditions and he finished 13th in his age group.

Equestrian

Henry Forrest, Year 6, and Harriet Forrest, Year 4, journeyed with their ponies to compete in high-level competitions in NSW. At the Australasian Grand Nationals Harriet was named Reserve Champion Rider Under 9 and Henry was awarded a Top 10 placing in his Show Horse class. They both went on to receive first placings at the National Pony Show with further success at the Sydney Royal Show. Back in WA, Emilia Forrest, Year 11, and Todd Broekman, Year 9, represented our School with considerable success at the Interschool Equestrian Championships at the State Equestrian Centre in Brigadoon. We congratulate all our riders for their dedication and sportsmanship.

Coding and Robotics

Caitlin Shaw recently achieved a perfect score in Web Comp (Beginners). Students learn how to write webpages in HTML and CSS while competing with others around the world. The Beginners stream is designed for students with no prior experience of web development and covers crucial information for building real websites.
